Summary

Tyrese Haliburton is set to make his return for the Indiana Pacers in their season opener against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 21. Haliburton missed the entire previous season due to a torn Achilles but aims to average at least 18 points and eight assists per game this season. He also targets a career-high three-point shooting percentage, boosted by new teammate Ivica Zubac.
